CERT Podcast: Cyber Security, Safety, and Ethics for the Net Generation

Created by Valerie M. Vogel (EDUCAUSE) on April 14, 2009

Capitalizing on the cultural norms of the Net Generation is essential when developing security awareness programs. Students and employees born between 1981 and 1994 are members of the Internet (Net) Generation. This generation has grown up with the Internet, World Wide Web, cell phones, instant messaging, blogs, and social networks. Typically, they are team oriented and prefer visual, image-based content as well as experiential, interactive learning. They are digital natives and expect their academic institutions and organizations to speak the language. In this 20-minute podcast, Rodney Petersen (Government Relations Officer and Security Task Force Coordinator for EDUCAUSE) and Julia Allen (Senior Researcher for Carnegie Mellon University) discuss effective ways to educate the Net Generation about cybersecurity, cyber-safety, and cyber-ethics, taking their cultural norms and expectations into account.
